Hello,
Lost airmen, confirmation please.

It is my opinion that airmen whether aircrew or ground crew who were reported as MIA were covered by an MACR.

If they were lost by - say while being transported by sea and the ship was damaged by bombs or even sunk ( by bombs or submarines ) - which resulted in their loss, would there then be an MACR issued ?

My thinking is that there would not be an MACR for them.

If my thinking is correct, then how was their loss recorded ?

Thanks
Alex
